non-capitol troops are very similar to indies

Actually, they are indies, but for the axeman anyway.

Some sacred troops do seem like a good idea... my thoughts at the moment are perhaps some kind of phantasmal (sacred) angels as a battle summon. Some glamour iceclads also seems pretty nice idea.

[Shovah32]

How about giving agents a summon allies command for phantasmal warriors/caelians?

[quantum_mechani]

I thought about letting seraph lords summon allies phantasmals, but it just seemed weird that enemy scouting reports would report phantasmal armies- they aren't supposed to know it's an illusion...

So I settled for phantasmals in the PD.

Maybe give them some glamourous phantasmals? That would keep them hidden and let agents bring some along for the trip.

I was thinking of Master of Magic today and realized from the phantasmal battle summon idea how awesome and useful the Phantasmal Beast was. There's nothing really like that in Dominions; wouldn't it be fun to have something really hard to hit, that hits really hard, that dies to 1 hp of damage? You could take an Ice Devil sprite, soften up the edges a bit, make it transparent, and there ya go.

I'm using that idea in a mod of mine-lifedraining, etherial flying critters with 1 hp of damage.
